“Sweet chin curtain.”
Brent Burns is on track for a Norris Trophy caliber season and Joe Thornton is a future Hall of Famer just 12 assists shy of 1,000 for his career. But at this point, they’re probably more famous for their beards. The two grew out some “spicy salad” for last year’s Stanley Cup playoffs, in which the Sharks made it to the final for the first time ever.
Instead of shaving after losing to the Pens, as most players would, Burns and Thornton kept the outrageous beards, which they say is now a “lifestyle.” In a way the face hair has taken on a life of its own.
So if these two guys have positive things to say about your beard, you’re on the right track.
The two showcased their beards in a great “Sharks for Life” ad promoting a Thornton Chia Beard night on Saturday.
Come for the thick Canadian accents, stay for the tremendous Chewbacca impression by Burns at the end.
What a couple of beauties.
